In the piece “Persona” vocal sounds are alienated by simple electronic means. As a result the listener perceives the voice either as part of linguistic communication, as a component of the human identity or as an abstract sound.

“Was in einer großen Stadt draufgeht“ works with the recording of a text written by Johann Peter Hebel (narrator: Heike Aust), being cut and reassembled. Intonation and pronunciation are strongly modified what leads again to abstractions of the text.

Focus of both compositions is the relation of music and language, as central topic, alienated and reinterpreted by electro-accustic means.
